Player to watch: Salomon Rondon

34-year-old Rondon is the player to watch in this Pumas UNAM vs Pachuca prediction, as he is by far coach Almada’s key weapon. When it comes to scoring, no one does it better than Rondon. He was a true menace during the Copa America and we are sure he’d like to do more with his club as well.

Second player to watch: Jorge Ruvalcaba

In order for Almada to avoid defeat, Ruvalcaba must be nullified. He already scored two goals since the start of the season. Pachuca must deny him of the opportunity to score a third.
